RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 11-29-2013
Who is this?
RE: Who is this person? - J. Beckert - 11-29-2013
Dennis Hanks?
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 11-29-2013
Good guess, Joe, but it's not him.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 11-30-2013
Hint #1: Try to imagine him without the beard. Whom does he resemble?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 11-30-2013
This is going to get to me, Eva. I definitely have seen that image in a book, but my mind has gone blank. Salmon P. Chase with a beard?
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 11-30-2013
Another good guess, Roger, but it isn't Chase either.
Hint #2: He supposedly died in 1830.
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 11-30-2013
Eva, your second clue helped. Mordecai Lincoln.
I was going to say John Hanks, but he died in 1889.
RE: Who is this person? - L Verge - 11-30-2013
Is Mordecai the one who was married to a Mudd?
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 11-30-2013
Yes, good memory, Laurie. He married Mary Mudd. Wikipedia says Mary Mudd was a first cousin twice removed of Dr. Samuel Mudd.
RE: Who is this person? - Eva Elisabeth - 11-30-2013
You've got it, Roger, very good! He does resemble Thomas, doesn't he?
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-14-2013
Inquiring minds want to know...who is this gentleman?

RE: Who is this person? - L Verge - 12-14-2013
With that stern a face, it sure isn't Santa Claus!
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-15-2013
James Harlan as an older man?
RE: Who is this person? - Rob Wick - 12-15-2013
Good guess Roger, but it isn't Harlan. And Laurie is correct that it isn't Santa Claus.
First clue: He corresponded with several Lincoln biographers.

Rob
RE: Who is this person? - RJNorton - 12-15-2013
Worthington C. Ford?
